Sh NAME
Nm stringlist ,
Nm sl_init ,
Nm sl_add ,
Nm sl_free ,
Nm sl_find ,
Nm sl_delete
Nd stringlist manipulation functions
Sh LIBRARY
Lb libc
Sh SYNOPSIS
In stringlist.h
Ft StringList *
Fn sl_init
Ft int
Fn sl_add "StringList *sl" "char *item"
Ft void
Fn sl_free "StringList *sl" "int freeall"
Ft char *
Fn sl_find "StringList *sl" "const char *item"
Ft int
Fn sl_delete "StringList *sl" "const char *item" "int freeit"
Sh DESCRIPTION
The
Nm
functions manipulate stringlists, which are lists of
strings that extend automatically if necessary.
Pp
The
Ar StringList
structure has the following definition:
Bd -literal -offset indent
typedef struct _stringlist {
       char    **sl_str;
       size_t    sl_max;
       size_t    sl_cur;
} StringList;
Ed
Pp
where:
Bl -tag -width "sl_str" -offset indent
It Ar sl_str
is a pointer to the base of the array containing the list,
It Ar sl_max
is the size of
Ar sl_str ,
and
It Ar sl_cur
is the offset in
Ar sl_str
of the current element.
El
Pp
The following stringlist manipulation functions are available:
Bl -tag -width "sl_delete()" -offset 2n
It Fn sl_init
Create a stringlist.
Returns a pointer to a
Ar StringList ,
or
Dv NULL
in case of failure.
It Fn sl_free
Releases memory occupied by
Ar sl
and the
Ar sl->sl_str
array.
If
Ar freeall
is non-zero, then each of the items within
Ar sl->sl_str
is released as well.
It Fn sl_add
Add
Ar item
to
Ar sl->sl_str
at
Ar sl->sl_cur ,
extending the size of
Ar sl->sl_str .
Returns zero upon success, \-1 upon failure.
It Fn sl_find
Find
Ar item
in
Ar sl ,
returning
Dv NULL
if it's not found.
It Fn sl_delete
Remove
Ar item
from the list.
If
Ar freeit
is non-zero, the string is freed.
Returns
Dv 0
if the name is found
and
Dv \-1
if the name is not found.
